Stayz, Australia’s original holiday home website, has partnered with actor and comedian Jimmy Rees in an effort to find the nation’s HomeStayz Hero and inspire post lockdown travel across the country.
Rees, famed for his hilarious social media content during the pandemic, released a video earlier today where he relives some common ‘HomeStayz’ moments including awkward Zoom meetings, home haircut disasters and endless domestic DIY tasks.
Stayz approached Rees to help Aussies everywhere reflect on their lockdown moments and share a laugh together as NSW and Victorian travellers look forward to intrastate and domestic trips once again.
They’re also calling on Aussies to tell us in 50 words or less why they are a HomeStayz Hero and deserve to win a holiday. The entrant judged the winner will win an Aussie stay worth up to $4,000 at www.stayz.com.au/ homestayzhero*. The promotion kicks off today and the Aussie HomeStayz Hero will be announced Stayz social channels in November.
“What better way to end the year of being at home for many than some than time away in someone else’s holiday home and sharing that experience with beloved family and friends?,” says Simone Scoppa, Travel Expert at Stayz.
“We know that popular tourist towns across the country, especially in NSW and VIC, are very much looking forward to welcoming Stayz guests back to the regions and you don’t need to travel far to experience some of Australia’s best beaches, landscapes, food, wine, craft beer and holiday homes.”
“Demand for holidays homes has been strong across all of Australia this Summer with coastal destination still the top pick for travellers across the country. We saw many travellers booking for their Christmas holiday back in July, a lot earlier than we have seen in years past, but it isn’t too late to book an end of Summer adventure.”
Stayz has pulled together a curated list of holiday homes for HomeStayz Heroes who can look forward to escaping their own four walls into someone else’s.
